Ketamine Therapy in Westlake Village

Ketamine is a substance that has been known to produce a “dissociative experience,”
In 2019, it was FDA-approved as medication for depression is the nasal spray which is given to adults who haven’t been helped by antidepressant pills, are suicidal, or have a major depressive disorder. Ketamine works by stimulating glutamate receptors in the brain.

Most patients receiving Ketamine therapy state the feeling as meditative and relaxing. The effects of the ketamine normally wear off in 1-2 hours. 

If conventional antidepressants don’t seem to work, Ketamine therapy is another option. Besides Ketamine, TMS or transcranial magnetic stimulation is another option that responds well to patients who have been treatment-resistant to depression.

Here at Family Psychiatry and Activate TMS, we are motivated to give our patients options. If you or someone you love need some extra help, please reach out. We are always here to help.
